“Linda is the perfect example of taking control of the diagnosis,” says Dr. Samra. “We created a reconstruction plan that was aggressive, but perfect for how she lives her life. It was important to her to get back to work as soon as possible and we did everything we could to safely support her wishes.”

Dr. Asaad Samra was recently published in the September 2016 Supplement to WOUNDS. A discussion by a panel of experts defines at-risk patients and reveals it’s findings on best wound care practices thereof using today’s advanced technology.

“There is no question in my mind that in the right clinical setting, using advanced therapy would help heal wounds faster. We can all agree that that is in everyone’s best interest. The advanced cellular therapy available today is arguably game changing in wound care and beyond.”

Dr. Salem Samra was recently published in the October 2016 edition of the Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume). The study involves children born with extra fingers (polydactyly) and how best to treat them. Dr. Samra designed the study and is the first author on the paper.

“Having a child born with this deformity can be a very traumatic experience for parents and there has not been a clear consensus among hand surgeons or pediatricians on the best treatment approach,” said Dr. Samra. “This study helps both parents and doctors better understand the treatment options available to correct the deformity and select a procedure that’s best for the affected child.”
